java.lang.Object

   +----quicktime.app.time.Tasking
public abstract class Tasking
extends Object
implements Taskable
This class implements most of the methods of the Taskable interface, providing an application a default implementation of this. The default Tasker for this object can be set by an application and doing so will move this Taskable object to that new TaskThread object and consequent calls to startTasking() will use the application set TaskThread.
